Oil Glut Calls May Be Getting Ahead of Reality

By Irina Slav - Jul 02, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT

Oil prices have fallen as traders bet on recovering Hormuz exports and renewed oversupply, but analysts warn the rebound reflects delayed tanker departures rather than a full restoration of Middle East production.

Production remains well below pre-war levels in key Gulf producers, while high shipping costs, limited insurance coverage, and slow inbound tanker traffic continue to constrain supply.

Despite record U.S. crude output, uncertainty over Iran, Hormuz, and regional production means the market may be underestimating ongoing supply risks.

. . . analysts would do better to wait and make sure Hormuz tanker traffic has returned to pre-war levels . . .

Those who dance [to Trump's tune] always seem crazy to those who can't hear the music.

Mark Zandi underestimated how much the Iran war costs.

President Trump requested a record $1.5 trillion in national security funding for the 2027 fiscal year, marking an unprecedented $420+ billion increase over prior baseline levels. Additionally, the administration asked for an $87.6 billion emergency supplemental, which includes $67.1 billion for the Department of Defense to replenish munitions heavily used in the Middle East.

$420 billion divided by the population of the US (342.3 million) is equal to $1,227.00 per person. Mark Zandi estimated $1,000 per "household", not per person.


Trump's budget for Fiscal Year 2027 begins on October 1, 2026 for the U.S. Federal Government, and on July 1, 2026 for most U.S. states, academic institutions, and corporate entities.

Mark Zandi, born in Atlanta, needs to be deported back to Georgia because he noticed the $420 billion Trump requested to fight in Iran? President Trump requested a record $1.5 trillion in national security funding for the 2027 fiscal year, marking an unprecedented $420+ billion increase over prior baseline levels.

I know who he is and I know where he was born.

Don't give a shit about your first generation anchor babies either.

He's writing anti-American propaganda for cultists like you to spread around.

You are the Enemy of the People, as is he.


It's time for you to leave too.

SIX, attacking Iran was one of the dumbest things Trump could have done, and saying so isn't anti-American.

U.S. Officials Believed Israel Was Plotting to Kill Iranian Negotiators

Any Israeli attempt to kill Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister, or Mohammad Ghalibaf, the Parliament speaker, would have derailed peace talks, American officials feared.

By Julian E. Barnes and Farnaz Fassihi | July 2, 2026
The reporters have been covering the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and its aftermath.

U.S. officials believed that Israel might have been plotting to kill Iran’s top negotiators while Washington was engaged with Tehran in delicate talks this spring to reach an interim peace deal, according to current and former American officials.

Killing senior Iranian leaders had been part of Israel’s strategy from the start of the war. But American concerns about the targeting of two particular Iranian officials — Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Parliament — spiked during delicate cease-fire negotiations that began in April.

Fearful that an Israeli assassination effort would doom the negotiations, the United States, according to some of the officials, went so far as to ask other countries in the region to warn Iran about the possibility Israel could target the two officials.

U.S. officials acknowledged that during the intense phase of the war, Mr. Araghchi and Mr. Ghalibaf, as senior government officials, could have been legitimate targets for Israel, which was intent on toppling Iran’s hard-line government. But after the negotiations started in earnest in April, American officials believed that any attempt to kill the Iranian leaders would end the talks and reignite the fighting.

The war began on Feb. 28 with an Israeli strike that killed the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other top officials, based in part on U.S. intelligence.

While U.S. strikes focused on Iran’s navy and missile forces, Israel prioritized targeting the leadership in the early phase of the war, intent on killing as many high-ranking officials as it could.

That included killing potentially more pragmatic leaders that the Trump administration had hoped to negotiate with, such as Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official, and Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister. Both men were involved in the negotiations with the United States when they were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

The Trump administration’s suspicions about the possible Israeli plot to kill the two top negotiators show how the U.S. and Israeli war aims, which were close at the very beginning of the war, quickly diverged radically. And while the United States wanted a peace agreement, Israel has been skeptical from the initial cessation of hostilities in April.

That isn't what he's saying. To a two year old, that is what he is saying.

So what IS he saying?

Bc as I read it, what he's saying is that it's costing the average American family $1000 so far, and potentially $7500 in the long run.
It may be anti- Trump, but how is that anti- American?
